The hotel

With its elegant Victorian character and relaxed coastal atmosphere, it offers a welcoming retreat for classic summer days by the sea. The hotel’s restaurant serves traditional British dishes, while the comfortable lounge and bar provide inviting spaces to unwind after a day exploring the English Riviera. Leisure facilities include an indoor pool, sauna and steam room, and the sun terrace and garden seating areas offer quiet corners to enjoy the fresh sea air and views.
